Revelation 9 & 10

Rev-9
When the 5th angel sounded his trumpet, a star fell from the sky to the earth.  That star was given authority to unleash a plague of locust on the earth.  Two other plagues are yet to come and still the rest of mankind would not repent. I can't really believe that some people are just arrogant and self consumed.

Rev-10
John has a vision of another mighty angel with a little scroll. This angel's purpose affects all of creation and the little scroll will be eaten by John.  The number 7 is mentioned in this chapter.  It refers to 7 thunders (no He isn't speaking about our NBA team).  The 7 thunders represent God's coming wrath and judgement.  John finally eats the scroll as the angel told him.  It tasted sweet in his mouth but soured in his stomach.  John now understands that he must deliver his final message about the judgements to come.  The judgements will be contain much sorrow and bitterness.
